BENGALURU: Mohammed Siraj is into his ninth IPL season, of which he spent seven with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). He’s played 87 of his 95 IPL matches for the Bengaluru franchises. Not too long ago, the M Chinnaswamy stadium used to be his home ground. On Wednesday, turning up for Gujarat Titans, he found familiar home comfort, returning with impressive figures of 3/19.
Coming into their first home game on the back of two wins, hosts RCB, put in to bat, were expected to explode. Instead, their top-order imploded under the Titans’ pace attack, which thrived on length and variations.
